### 5/5 — Well thought out

*2026-03-24, version 1.0*

It’s a puzzle game that isn’t throwing ads in your face. I can see why some people would want hints, for example, I had no idea that I could switch between characters the second Snakebird.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-02-16, version 1.0*

The game is absolutely awesome and challenging, although definitely might be scary to people who don't play puzzle games much. The graphics are amazing and the attention to detail is really great! There are not a lot of levels even after you pay, but the price is worth the couple long car rides you'll spend playing this game.

### 2/5 — Wanted to like it so badly!

*2025-09-18, version 1.0*

This game could have been amazing but in my opinion they turned people off by making the very first level nearly impossible to solve!… No explanation of anything… no rules… no purpose of the game… no objective given… just a puzzle that I’m not even sure the app isn’t glitching or something is wrong because it’s kind of a joke to solve…

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2024-06-30, version 1.0*

Got stuck on third level, no clues, no help. Giant jump in difficulty between the levels

### 5/5 — Für Puzzle-Enthusiasten

*2024-06-12*

Direkt vorweg: Snakebird ist verdammt knifflig. Nur hartgesottene Genre-Liebhaber:innen sollten hier zugreifen, wer sich nicht sicher ist sollte zunächst Snakebird Primer spielen.

Snakebird ist eines der besten Puzzlespiele die mir bisher untergekommen sind. Klar da ist die Grafik und das Sounddesign, beides perfekt; die Steuerung ist super, diesdas. Aber es wäre mir auch 5 Sterne wert wenn mein Neffe die Grafiken gezeichnet hätte und meine Schwester den Soundtrack auf einer Blockflöte eingespielt, weil die Level so verdammt gut designt sind. Es wird wirklich bockschwer aber es fühlt sich nie unfair oder beliebig an. Ein absoluter Triumph des Genres.

### 5/5 — ЧЯРВЯК ПТИЦА

*2024-04-07*

Очень Хорошая Головоломка и Идея я не могу пройти даже 3 уровень но для этого игра и создана для этого по-этому 5 звезд! и еще очень хороший дизайн!!😃 я доволен!!

### 2/5 — Stuck at level 2 and no hints

*2024-04-01, version 1.0*

The game sounded fun but I’m stuck at level 2😔Either I get the strawberry and get stuck, either I get the apple and can’t do anything other than falling…

### 3/5 — Саунд-дизайн на высоте

*2023-09-25*

Понравилась графика и звуки, хорошие головоломки. Чувствую себя правда тупой, на втором же уровне встряла и третий сложно пошел. Подсказки бы не помешали или хотя бы менее резкая прогрессия по сложности.

### 5/5 — Крутейшая игра

*2023-08-15*

Игра визуально приятная, при этом достаточно сложная и бросает вызов терпению и логике. Иногда уровни очень сложны, но чем сложнее уровень тем больше кайф от его прохождения. Всем любителям поломать голову очень советую, оно точно стоит своих денег!

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2023-07-23, version 1.0*

Level 3 is impossible to beat its a stupid game
